Double dormer charmer... for inspiration
Double dormer charmer... for inspiration
This cutie popped up on my facebook ticker because of the drab gray Rambler sedan parked at the street. The house is small but has nice details that would work nicely on a putz house. And if anyone wants to get really inspired and recreate the scene, I can guide you to a 1/43 scale replica of the Rambler.

We actually have two or three of these type in my village, including a triple dormer. They ARE neat!

update...5/26/2021...
a work-in-progress...still mounted on painting handles...(been held up for a while other things had to be done)...shutters and snow on roof painting are next...decided to go with colors vs natural sand...there will be a lot of contrast with the gold mullion and red windows, green tree and figurine in the yard...stay tuned...

Hi Howard, I love this house. Great detail with the one sided corrugated cardboard. The windows with the 2 sizes is also a nice touch!

Perfect in every way but especially the color.
